Speaker 1 (00:00):
Crime al Art hourly update, breaking crime news Now. I'm
Jennifer Gould. A Michigan doctor. Omar Ajaws swore an oath
to do no harm and was entrusted with the sanctity
of the human body and patient privacy. Instead, he became
a sadistic predator, violating his own children, his wife, and

(00:22):
the vulnerable patients under his care, ultimately receiving a shocking
thirty five to sixty year prison term. The former physician,
who held privileges at Ascension, Genesis Hospital and henry Ford
Hospital Makeum received his crushing sentence in Michigan's Oakland County

(00:42):
sixth Circuit Court, marking the climax of a stunning years
long investigation. The gravity of a Jas's depravity was reflected
in the thirty one counts of sexual misconduct to which
he pleaded no contest. The litany of felony charges was shocking.
They included two counts of first degree criminal sexual conduct,

(01:06):
three counts of second degree sexual conduct, and four counts
of child sexually abusive commercial activity. His comprehensive misuse of
technology in his crimes led to thirteen counts of using
a computer to commit a crime, alongside nine counts of

(01:26):
capturing and distributing an image of an unclothed person. A
Jaws is also now mandated to register as a lifetime
sex offender. Here's the judge addressing the doctor in court.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Incomprehensible to me that there is unity that could sup
to this level of conduct.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
You are a predator.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
You are a narcissist A Marcius.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
The shocking investigation was abruptly initiated in August of twenty
twenty four. No, not by a victim in an exam room,
but by a Jazz's own wife. She provided authorities with
irrefutable evidence that her husband had been secretly recording her,
their two minor children, and several female relatives within their home.

(02:18):
This domestic tip off led to the forensic recovery of
over thirteen thousand videos on his devices documenting his depraved
acts for six years. The victims spanned from adults to
a child as young as two years old. The legal
fallout is monumental. Eight thousand, two hundred survivors are already

(02:43):
involved in a potential class action lawsuit. A Jaws is
also simultaneously facing multiple civil.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Lawsuits as well. More crime and justice news. After this.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
The chilling sidewalk video captured the instant. Twenty year old
NYU student Amelia Lewis's routine walk to class was violently
shattered by a calculated, unprovoked assault in Lower Manhattan.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Lewis, distracted by her headphones, was.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Allegedly blindsided by a career criminal who viciously ran up
behind her, delivered a hard slap to her buttocks, and
then grabbed her hair, violently yanking the young woman to
the concrete before making a swift escape. Lewis posted about
the incident on TikTok.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
But like that was honestly like the scariest experience of
my life.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
The brutal incident, witnessed by shocked bystanders, ignited immediate public outrage.
The horrifying surveillance footage went viral after it was shared
by media personality Megan Kelly, who launched an aggressive campaign
calling for help to unmask the perpetrator. This immediate, high
profile pressure on law enforcement was compounded by Lewis's own bravery.

(04:05):
She spoke out enraged, asserting that the man had been
targeting young women around the NYU campus. Here she is
on the Megan Kelly Show.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I'm so grateful I wasn't alone on a dark, abandoned
street with no people around. And also I'm so thankful
that no weapons were involved, because this could have been
so much worse knowing now who he actually is.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
The manhunt concluded swiftly with the arrest of James Rizzo,
a forty five year old homeless brute, charged with persistent
sexual abuse, forcible touching and assault. Rizzo's subsequent booking exposed
a terrifying past. Court records reveal a staggering rap sheet
of sixteen prior arrests, including an arrest for attempted murder

(04:54):
in nineteen ninety seven when he was just seventeen years old.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Most critically, the serial.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Creep had only been released from state prison in September,
having just completed a two year sentence for a previous
persistent sexual abuse conviction.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Further dark details also.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Emerged, including a twenty twenty three charge for forcible touching
in Greenwich Village. Rizzou, a Level two sex offender, now
faces a fresh battery of charges, having already returned to
the streets to menace the public almost immediately after his release.
These include four counts of burglary in the building where
he was arrested. He's also charged with assault for allegedly

(05:37):
shoving a sixty eight year old woman on Thanksgiving in Midtown,
causing her to fall, requiring six stitches. Rizzou is still
in custody and is being held without bail and finally
talk about grave robbing. Authorities in Ashtabulah County arrested a
twenty one year old man on burglary charges after he

(05:58):
allegedly treated a dead man's house like a ghostly gold mine,
repeatedly looting the home while the seventy six year old
victim's body was decomposing inside. Investigators quickly determined the homeowner
had been dead for quite some time. The suspect and
his accomplices knew the body was there, but instead of

(06:21):
calling nine one one, they went back for seconds, thirds,
and more like it was some sort of buffet, stealing valuables,
a safe which was later found in Pennsylvania, and even
the man's car. This thief tried to profit from the
dearly departed, But now this soulless scavenger is buried in

(06:41):
legal trouble of his own. For the latest crime in
